Just double click that disabled button with memory protection and poof.

I think ace tracker module playing could have been the cause of many issues. Kernel 1.17.0 with aniplay is so far rock solid at 92MHz. Even Jinnee is running. I maybe had a stable system before but I was using the thing bug as a stability indicator.

I will!!In fact i could not sleep well with the knowledge that my Falcons were...alone...in the dark...somewhere on the ocean...

I cross my fingers for you that it all goes well. Perhaps use a military steel box for shipping, water resistant, highly shock absorbingwith gel or air cushions, 3 times sealed...and don´t forget some bodyguards, watchdogs, GPS sender, ...

I would have certainly reconsidered it if I hadn't shipped all the stuff three months ago already. ;) In fact, I should hear from the company sometime this month, I guess I'm going to give them a call. It's a complex delivery, Brisbane -> (truck) -> Sydney -> (ship) -> Poland -> (truck) -> Slovakia. But hey, way cheaper than air mail. :) My biggest worry is the box, while it isn't a cardboard box, I still couldn't afford to ship something like a wooden/metal crate because of weight (30 kg limit per box).

Very interesting. I have confirmed that 1.17.0 is absolutely stable for me and all 1.19 variants I have on my machine are absolutely UNSTABLE. Does anyone have a recommended known stable latest release kernel? I plan to use this machine to develop and build parts of RPMint which is my latest project so it might be best to leave it in the stable condition it's in.

Yeah, read about your new project on mintlist. Great move. I have an autoupdate script, at my web site, using Sparemint RPM as a base for version checking.I need to update the script to check github now before it works again.

I guess you should use the most stable mint release that works best for you.Any reason why you need v1,19 ?My guess is that you mainly just need a shell & gcc, no need for GUI.

Yeah I think the key factor is probably the CTPCI. But I am also using the apparently somewhat rare Ethernat as well. I'm happy to have a good config as it's not like I'm a kernel developer or anything. Now I want to look into replacing NVDI with FVDI which has font smoothing. NVDI fonts on high resolution don't look great at all.

I've figured out that the instability only happens when the ethernat driver is loaded. The question is what do I do? Maybe my ethernat is failing? Maybe ethernat + ctpci is unstable. The switch on the ctpci (bus termination I think) doesn't seem to make a difference. I can force a crash while xcontrol is loading and I move the mouse (memory violation).

EDIT: Nevermind got it to do it without the driver. It just seems less common. Definitely something to do with interrupts.
